The Washington Huskies men’s basketball team has added a significant piece to their roster with the signing of sophomore transfer Tyler Harris. The 6'8" guard from Hayward, California, comes to Seattle after a standout freshman season at the University of Portland.

Harris was a force to be reckoned with in his debut season, averaging 12.1 points per game and 7.3 rebounds per game. He led the Pilots in rebounding and ranked sixth in the West Coast Conference, earning a spot on the All-WCC Freshman Team. His impressive performance on the court didn’t go unnoticed, with Huskies head coach Danny Sprinkle singing his praises.

“Tyler had an impressive freshman season at Portland,” Sprinkle said. “His unique size gives him the ability to do things that most guards can’t. Our staff was most impressed with his rebounding and shot-making ability. He is a great talent to have on our team.”

Harris’s freshman campaign was filled with highlights, including five double-doubles, headlined by a 22-point, 12-rebound performance in his third collegiate game against UC Riverside. He also had 17 points and 12 rebounds in the season-opener.
